Tonight in the U.S. Senate, public lands were affirmed as an essential part of America. Huge thanks to @SenatorHeinrich and @TimSheehyMT for creating the quickest and most powerful bipartisan effort we've seen to date.

Nearly five years ago, @POTUS signed my bill, the Great American Outdoors Act, into law, securing full funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. This has been a tremendous victory for Idaho’s public lands and public lands across the country!

Making the Land Water Conservation Fund permanent was the biggest conservation win in over 50 years. I was proud to work directly with President Trump to make it happen.

The Supreme Court decision to overturn the #ChevronDoctrine could present challenges for implementing and enforcing laws that support nature. We will continue to work at all levels of government to protect people and our planet. nature.ly/3W3syvC

America the Beautiful would conserve 30% of US lands & waters by 2030. But to meet this goal we need accurate data. The American Conservation and Stewardship Atlas is a critical tool towards measuring our progress. Explore more at the brand new conservation.gov/

Three years ago, #GAOA was signed into law. To celebrate, today is #GreatAmericanOutdoorsDay (free #NPS admission!). Beloved places like #RMNP & #MVNP have received millions to rebuild & restore trails campgrounds & beyond. More work ahead, but enjoy the great outdoors today!
